I found the idea of a "cluster concept" of biological sex, as opposed to a essentialist binary, to be a useful addition for thinking about this issue. We can all point to the binary and say where do you draw the line, because of all kinds of exceptional cases. But if you say, here is a cluster of characteristics that are common to amongst the groups, you don't need to have them all, but most people have a majority of one or the other, then there becomes a more objective way to think about it.. And maybe the cluster that is important to weight lifting is different from something else.. Not saying that I aggrege with Kathleen Stock's conclusions. Just find this useful.
